Discard the easiest most of us have dreamed of winning the lottery and then attending the -- Jackson auction with a blank check in our pocket.

Not a value but if for meat that's still only drink for some other people however that dream is very much a reality.

Here's Bob martian who anchored speed TV's coverage of this weekend's Barrett Jackson auction from Florida.

Well here at the south Florida expo -- over the three days of the 2009 Barrett Jackson Palm Beach auction we learn once again that no matter what the economy seems to do. The lure of collector cars to savvy investors just never loses its charm just check the results are top five sellers of this year's three day auction. In fifth place.

5000 dollars took a beautiful 20044. Plus staying concept -- in the -- version 175. Grant also the number on the sister car. This -- a convertible and all of them money went to charity. Surprising third place -- next Jimmy Johnson's race winning NASCAR stock car. Consigned by Rick Hendrick also a charity car. A -- car owned by the late Jimmy -- 34 -- 1250 slime fest 230000. Dollars and topping the ball also for charity. -- very special custom Chevrolet Camaro. That brought up half. Million dollars clearly has plenty of money in collector cars still ballots get the thoughts of my colleague on the issues broadcast might join.

Bob Barrett Jackson raised some great figures for some great charity causes and had a very eclectic mix more so than in past years when. Here and Palm -- sure a lot of muscle cars -- a lot of interesting cars. Over 20000 per drives the fire. That was one of the many surprises of this year's Palm Beach auction -- all the all the really great cars drew really strong money.
